Made in Canada {giveaway} from Brass Lass CLOSED

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED

Today we're going to look at an Etsy shop that is based in my home province of British Columbia! Brass Lass is the newest venture of the very talented Shannon Kjernisted, who specializes in beautiful layered pendants using brass, copper, silver and gold.




Here's what Shannon says about Brass Lass; "Brass Lass is an all metal line and the technique is cold fusion. Layers of different coloured brass, copper and sterling silver are riveted together to form delightful miniature vignettes. Made with high quality materials and care and attention to detail, these handmade pendants are great fashion accessories that will go with everything."
Shannon carefully crafts her 100% led and nickel free pendants in the cultural and beautiful coastal community of Port Alberni, British Columbia. The pendant necklaces found at Brass Lass add an instant touch of nature inspired elegance to any woman's outfit. I am in love with the layering concept that Shannon uses to make such dynamic pieces. The various metals have amazing depths of color, all coming together to create these wearable art pieces.

$21 USD

$29 USD

$19.50 USD

Shannon has graciously agreed to give away her Starfish and Shell circle pendant to one very lucky reader! This pendant has to be my favorite from the collection at Brass Lass, I love anything to do with the ocean (the shores of which I grew up on!). I think this brass pendant captures the strong beauty of the ocean perfectly.


Open to : U.S and Canadian residents
Closes :  July 17, 2010

I went to college in Bellingham, Washington and lived in the Seattle area for several years, and I visited British Columbia several times while I was so close by. It is truly a beautiful area. That was many years ago, but I seem to recall they grow exquisite roses there.
